TLDW. Now bring on the weightlifting, pickleball and tiddlywinks.

You’re getting it confused with the 2024 Fucking Olympics, taking place simultaneously in Amsterdam.

Oh yes, I forgot I have illegal firestick. I can watch it on crazy yet unbiased Eurosport. I’ve been institutionalised by Auntie.

Why start another utterly pointless thread? No idea, other than that I haven’t started one in ages, and to ponder on how best to avoid accidentally seeing or hearing ‘national treasure’ Easter Island statue-headed BBC presenter Clare Balding for two weeks. The over-under on this thread I’d put at 1.5 pages, assuming the wise yet tyrannical Paul ‘flag’ Bearer doesn’t smother it at birth. Ooh, there’s the Bhutan team tootling down the Seine in a pedalo. Not really, but I’m sure the USA will enter the opening ceremony on board an aircraft carrier equipped with nuclear warheads. No sign of the Albanian dinghy yet, but likely to be sinking off the Kent coast with several children aboard. You can bung anything in here, from inevitable terrorist atrocities to Paula Radcliffe shitting in a roadside gutter.

Now I’m no expert in pointlessly whipping horses’ legs, but the opprobrium directed at this posho seems a trifle excessive. Having seen the offending video nasty, it doesn’t seem any worse than a jockey thrashing a horse’s arse a few times at the end of a race. After all, someone has to learn these ignorant geegees how to walk sideways to an ABBA song for our amusement, don’t they? It’s quite similar to the recent Strictly hoohah, mistreating dumb animals like Zara McThingamajig.

It was on her Wikipedia page, but I have been led to believe that sometimes those aren’t scrupulously accurate.

I just sang Sunglasses by Tracey Ullman, saw the original was by Sandy Posey, looked her up and it says she died on July 20. If that’s true, it’s somewhat bizarre.

Why does the occasional story like this and the Nicola Bulley incident cause the social media conspiracy theorists to flip their wigs when there must be hundreds of people going missing every week? Are they responding to events reported by the regular media or are they creating the story which the media then picks up on? All very interesting in a not-particularly-interesting way.

I wonder who, if anyone, will be the first pro snooker player to make a century. Presumably no one has yet. Is Rex Williams currently the closest at 91?

Eh? She getting put into the same grave then?

I was labouring under the misapprehension that she was the foreign student in American Pie, but I guess 80s/90s Hollywood is not a specialist subject for me.

Another ‘ear today, gone tomorrow’ politician.

It’s been scientifically proven that people will do anything to not look or sound like Lloyd Cole. Elvis: plastic surgery, then went to live with Hitler on the moon. Tanita Tickertape: dunked her whole head in a big bowl of sulphuric acid.

I was hoping that Ceciliain might have been a Gavin Plumb alias.
